I had planned to write a Best of post, but I’ve been thinking all day about it, and about 2006 in general, and realized that my year was pretty shitty. There were great moments, but my life this year doesn’t warrant a best of post. 2006 was the year that I realized that [...]

I was minding my own business, actually I was working on a new web app, when Brian messaged me saying “congrats!” I was a bit surprised and didn’t know what in heck he was talking about. It clicked eventually and I flew over to the 9rules blog and w00t! my name was in [...]

I last posted on Saturday about Mandy’s cookies and CD’s. I’ve concluded that her cookies are absolutely amazing and some of the best cookies I’ve ever had and her CD’s (both 1 and 2) are the best mixed CD’s ever. No, I’m not sharing.
Christmas Eve I spent with my family at my grandparents. [...]

Mandy, my friend from St. Louis, sent me a package and it arrived today. All I knew was that there would be cookies and two mixed CD’s. I also knew that she wrapped the CD’s with many layers of wrapping paper. I wasn’t even expecting it to come today, since she had [...]

I’m applying to colleges. Most of them are due by the end of the month and I have no idea what to do. I don’t remember even blinking when I applied to colleges out of high school. I knew, or thought I knew, what I had wanted, so I did it. [...]

Colie (to me): What’s the capital of California?
Me: Sacramento.
Andrea: Sacramento is the capital of California? When did it go there?
Me: Um, it’s always been there.
Andrea: So, wait, what’s the capital of Detroit?
Me: Detroit is a city, it’s in Michigan.
Andrea: I thought Detroit was a state.
Me: No, it’s a city, in the state of Michigan.
Later, [...]

Wow, when I was a kid, we did this all the time. Maybe that’s why Jimmy never came home.

Thank you Gaby!

I previously wrote about Darfur as part of my Things You Should Know About series. I forget sometimes that many people still don’t know what is going on in Darfur, despite the push by George Clooney and other celebs to get the [...]

Amazing, just amazing.

This song, as cheesy as it is, holds very special memories for me. I only wish I could find my version. Maybe I’ll find it soon. Here for your listening pleasure:

Gaby always asks me why I don’t write about her on my blog. I used to, I just stopped when we started dating. It’s one thing to talk about someone when you’re leading up to a relationship, its a whole other thing when you’re in a relationship.
It’s not that I didn’t want to [...]

I’m getting ready to do Ep. #2 and I figured while I’m preparing I would take a look back at the first episode. Here are some stats on the first episode:

Countless emails, comments, and IM chats
Posted on a class blog!

What I Think
Besides it being of crappy [...]

First, I should really learn to stay away from my blog when I’m not in a good mood. Bad things happen.
So, I woke up today and my sister Andrea’s iPod was flippin out and she couldn’t get it to work. Her computer conked out so I had to reformat it on my computer. [...]

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. You know that saying that people use when you’re grumpy or in a shitty mood. Well, that’s me today. Except I woke up angry and depressed. For most of the day I’ve stared out a fogged up window, trying to [...]

When I was younger, meaning when I didn’t have arthritis, I loved the snow.  I would spend hours outside in it, building intricate snow forts or kickass snowmen.  I would plop down on the ground and make snow angels, or I would perfect my snowball making.  But now that I’m older, and my knees hurt [...]

Yep, you are.  If you visit here, you’ll notice a new design is up.  I was going to make a theme myself, but I decided it would just be best for me to keep working on that and get all the bugs out, so what you see here is the design I had in mind [...]

This weekend I watched a lot of movies. A fairly new video rental store opened up and I heard that they were cheap, they were, so I decided to get a few movies. I’ll give a brief review, and I’ll try not to put in spoilers in case you haven’t seen any of [...]

I’ve been working on a new theme for my site, completely done by yours truly. I’ll be putting it up here soon and if things look funky for a bit or aren’t working correctly, I’ll get to it. I’ll be working on it for awhile.
Yea, I’m an idiot. It won’t be up till [...]
